Vraska, Swarm's Eminence

Deathtouch has always been a keyword about equivalence: your 1/1 kills their dragon, and combat math collapses to "who blocks whom." This planeswalker takes that trade and bolts an escalator on top. A deathtouch creature that connects grows, which does nothing for its already-lethal touch but everything for the damage it deals unblocked, so the passive line quietly converts a wall of pinpricks into a real clock. The −2 supplies the fodder: an Assassin token whose deathtouch makes it a blocker no attacker wants to trade with, and whose bonus clause turns any connection with an opposing planeswalker into a guillotine that bypasses loyalty entirely. Read the two halves together and the intent is legible: assemble a board where every creature is a deathtouch threat, let the passive compound them into damage, and let the tokens police the ground and menace enemy planeswalkers. This is a build-around centerpiece wearing a planeswalker's frame, rewarding a specific deckbuilding commitment rather than generating value on its own. That commitment is also the ceiling. Outside a deathtouch-dense board, the passive line reads as inert text and the card leans hard on a lone token maker to justify four mana. The unusual part is how little the loyalty math matters to the plan: the −2 feeds the engine rather than climbing toward a finisher, and the card offers no finisher to climb toward. It is an engine on a walker's chassis, and it wants a board built to run it.
